Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. Team A collected more coins than Team B.
• B. Both teams collected the same number of coins.
• C. Team B collected more coins than Team A.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Team B collected more coins than Team A.

Team A collected 6 sacks containing 100 coins each, 5 sacks containing 10 coins each, and 6 more coins.
6 sacks containing 100 coins each = 6 times 100 = 600 coins
5 sacks containing 10 coins each = 5 times 10 = 50 coins
So, total number of coins collected by Team A
= 600 coins + 50 coins + 6 coins
= 656 coins

Team B collected 8 sacks containing 100 coins each, 2 sacks containing 10 coins each, and 5 more coins.
8 sacks containing 100 coins each = 8 times 100 = 800 coins
2 sacks containing 10 coins each = 2 times 10 = 20 coins
So, total number of coins collected by Team B
= 800 coins + 20 coins + 5 coins
= 825 coins

So, Team B collected more coins than Team A.
